SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed March 12 To f/.Z whom t may conce/m vBe .it known that l, liumms lll. Romiti, a citizen of the United Statef's, residing at Sehring, in the county of lllaho'uinjg, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useiul ln'iproveinents in Shade Holders, ot which the following'is a sperication.

My invention relates to a method of holding set screws in porcelain enameled forins such as shades, relectors and the like.

has heen the practice to hold set screws in loose Aclips Which are held in place only when the set screw is in place. llhese particular clips are shown and described in Kulas Patent ilo. 1,198,931` The objection to these clips is that sometimes it is desirable to remove the screw entirely when put ting the rellector in place; in that ease, it is desireable to have a clip which holds the threaded `portion in place Whether the screw in place or not. Sometimes this function is performed hy threads oarredin the forni itself. rl`his requires a heavy forni or a steel piece fastened *to the forni heitere enanieling, as the enainel tends to till up the threads and While there are Ways or keeping it out, they are not entirely suceessful.

According to my invention, an ordinary enameled steel forni or reflector holder is in ovided having` a small brass nut and a clip holding the nut to the torni. 'lhe :torni is I muohed heiore enaineling with :t rectaugfular hole slight-ly Wider than the screw.' hole in the nut and slightly lhunger than the width ol,l the nut. rl`he brass clip is so shaped that it holds the'nut and prevents it from turning While two talos pass through the hole and turn over, holding the nut tight against the enameled form.

lly invention Will he more clearly understood hy referring to the accompanying drawingin Which Fig'. 1 shows an elevation ot' a holder embodying niy invention;

Fig. is :in enlarged vertical section; and lf f is a 'trout elevatloi'l thereof.
